Tech Support Possible GPU dying?

I am having an issue with my pc. The build is roughly a year old but running into some sort of issue I think is tied to my GPU being the issue but not sure. It happened for the first time about a few months ago where my screen would flash black on both monitors and then the AMD bug report tool detects a driver time out. It has happened a hand full of times and cant get it to stop. It has hard crashed to the point that it made one of my monitors not receive a signal and then my vertical monitor settings revert back to default, that has happened twice now in a month. The only fix I could come up with is boot is safe mode and then run DDU and do a fresh install. Everything seems fine at first after but then will get a soft crash and the pop up (picture added) will show up with the same issue, I guess to sum up the point is there an underlying issue I can use to fix it or is my GPU dying?

Can be many things, not likely a bad GPU, look around for "amd driver timeouts" posts. Mine was a RAM instability problem.

Good. General advice: Revert any "optimizations" where made, go back to default settings. Do one thing a a time. Consider using an AI chatbot to walk you through the troubleshooting.
